IVONA TAU on Instagram: "In a world where algorithms shape our feeds, this project examines the flattening of culture and the aesthetics that dominate social media. Trained on images specifically selected from my ‘For You’ section, the model mirrors a streamlined, curated visual ideal—a reflection of what the platform values most: appealing to the masses. But in the process, the art loses its uniqueness, its message blurred. This work questions how social media’s influence affects personal expression and art’s value in an age of algorithmic visibility. What even is art and artist in this skewed definition? Part of my bigger exploration around the algorithmic culture. #AIArt #DigitalCulture #AlgorithmicAesthetics”"
